I'm Worried About Clarkson

Stop hating he brings more than Exum ever did. Clarkson brings what we need, yeah he is streaky, but when he is hot, he is great. He isn't in a 6th man of the year conversation by fluke
 
One thing that does comfort me about the Clarkson situation is that while Quin gives him the green light to do whatever when he plays, I don't think Quin will let the ship go down with Clarkson. Even when Clarkson dropped 40 he didn't get to close the game.

Bogey makes me much more worried because Quin was so hesitant to bench him in favor of Ingles who is a significantly better player.

At the end of the day he is a bench player. But it does get concerning if Don Or Mike have to miss time in the playoffs and we therefore need to rely on Clarkson more.

Barring anything crazy I don't think Don or Mike will miss any postseason games. Jazz are just being overly conservative with them right now to keep them 100% ready to go for the playoffs.
 
I am still worried about Clarkson. He was on a tear the first of the season but the last few months he has been off for sure. If we are going to do damage in the playoffs he has to get back to early season form. Last night was obviously great. Hope he is back on track.

Don't worry, be happy. Clarkson's offense is snappy
 
Someone once mentioned that we received Clarkson for a "ded man." We killed it on that trade. Clarkson is not expected to be Michael Jordan. He is a 6th man in the Vinnie Johnson mold. The Pistons won a title with Vinnie, if we play our cards correctly and avoid injuries, we can win a title with Jordan Clarkson as 6th man.
 
I guess it's time to bump up that thread now.. Yesterday he not only had one of his worse shooting nights in Jazz uniform, he was visibly struggling to get to his spots in the paint and turned it over a lot.
